Navitas Solution
Navitas developed strategic plans and roadmaps to meet emerging program and data integration needs. Our team performed trade-off analysis, including analysis of alternatives, cost-benefit analysis, the total cost of ownership and usage, and technical tradeoffs to define the target state architecture. We began migrating workloads from an on-premises data center to a secure hybrid cloud environment that meets federal security compliance requirements and runs on top of industry-provided infrastructure through AWS and Azure. This platform enabled expedited development and deployment of cloud applications — helping to accelerate and secure government modernization efforts. We introduced innovative technologies, including containers, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, microservices, and advanced analytics. We continue to refactor databases, data access code, application code, and application architecture to eliminate dependencies on aging hardware and proprietary software.
We used Agile methodology and collaborative engineering with frequent small releases, supported by a full CI/CD pipeline and integration of security. Our team managed requirements by creating and refining epics, identifying, and grooming user stories, and maintaining a traceability matrix across Sprints and Releases with Product and Release backlog. To meet ATO requirements, we used our knowledge and experience to achieve FISMA-High for the new cloud environment in just four months, allowing the Agency to use cloud computing capabilities to meet mission demands.
